Battleship director Peter Berg was doing an interview for his new movie last week when he somehow started grilling an Israeli reporter about foreign policy matters … as well as the journalist’s own military service (or lack thereof).

After outlining a bellicose view of the political situation in the Middle East, Berg asked the 25-year-old reporter if he ever served in the Israeli military.

When the reporter replied “No,” Berg responded, “What?! How did you get out of that? Are you a draft dodger? You better join the army motherf**ker!!!”

Yeah. It was awkward, and we don’t really get it either.

At least Berg added that Rihanna is a great actress.
